4 bedroom property for sale

Orleton is a pretty Village on the Herefordshire/Shropshire borders set amidst lovely unspoilt Countryside. The village has a good range of local facilities including Post Office with General Stores, Church, Primary School, Doctors Surgery, Village Hall and two Public Houses. With a thriving community it is one of the most popular Villages in the area. More comprehensive facilities can be found at the nearby historic Market Towns of Ludlow - 5 miles and Leominster - 5 miles. The Old School House is located in the heart of the village, formerly the Parish Church school it dates back to 1854 and was enlarged in 1913. It retains much of its original character with gothic style windows, high vaulted beamed ceiling to the school hall, wooden floors and some fireplaces. The property was conveyed from Hereford Diocese in 1972 and since then has been in private ownership. In 2015 planning permission was granted in October 2015 for proposed additions, alterations, refurbishment, external repairs and conversion into a dwelling of the Old School House and construction of a new garage and plant room with first floor home office. A copy of the decision notice and approved plans are available from the agent. The plans approved were on the basis of maintaining the aspects of the existing building as viewed from the road and side lane. Our vendor has carried out works to the building to maintain this and to maintain the original building fabric. A full list of the works carried out to date are available from the agent. The works include (but are not limited to) re-roofing of the school cottage and rebuilding of the 4 stack and two stack chimneys, the erection of the steel frame extension on footings and the erection and completion of the detached garage with plant room and home office.
